I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

Hopefully kept good records of improvements / anything to increase the basis2.

We invested $55,000 in key renovations, focusing on modernizing the interiors, improving curb appeal, and ensuring the property met market expectations.

So feel free to DM me if you think I could help.The other reason for me to reply to you is to debunk some untruths that are being circulated about international investing, as it could help all readers who bump into this thread.It's not true that many European countries require you to be a citizen or a permanent resident to invest in real estate there and certainly not in the countries that you mentioned.

We've been continuously improving it, but it has been working exceptionally well for us since we hired a developer for the complete build-out a year ago.

You also have to be super detail-oriented, focused on continuous improvement regarding the property and guest experience, very in-touch with what it's like to be a guest at the property (and a cleaner of it as well), and focused on technological tools and opportunities. 

Improvements on property you own do not qualify.2.

Without a mortgage, this decreases the risk of a rental vacancy and improves cashflow.

With things like the ONE Linden plan in Linden, which is a 50M plan to improve the neighborhood.

I would focus on improving your credit and obtaining a more stable income so that conventional financing is an option.
